ecological situation. Greatest danger

spring floods and heavy downpours. Natural disaster - natural

an extraordinary phenomenon leading to a violation

normal activities of the population, loss of life, destruction and

destruction of material values.

Natural disasters can occur both independently of each other and

related: one of them may lead to another. Some of them are often

occur as a result of human activities (for example, forest and peat

fires, industrial explosions in mountainous areas, during construction

dams, laying (development) of quarries, which often leads to landslides,

avalanches, glacier collapses, etc.).

Перевод:

Природные стихийные бедствия нередко создают сложную

экологическую ситуацию. Наибольшую опасность

представляют землетрясения, ураганы, а также наводнения, вызванные

весенним половодьем и сильными ливнями. Стихийное бедствие – природное

явление, носящее чрезвычайный характер и приводящее к нарушению

нормальной деятельности населения, гибели людей, разрушению и

уничтожению материальных ценностей.

Стихийные бедствия могут возникать как независимо друг от друга, так и

связанно: одно из них может повлечь за собой другое. Некоторые из них часто

возникают в результате деятельности человека (например, лесные и торфяные

пожары, производственные взрывы в горной местности, при строительстве

плотин, закладке (разработке) карьеров, что зачастую приводит к оползням,

снежным лавинам, обвалам ледников и т.п.).
